Welcome to Saturday Night Live Art Shows.

Animals have much to teach us if we just listen.

Would you like more magic in your life?

Ravens are associated with magic and the unknown. They teach us to be open to magic. That means being present now, rather than in your head with your checklist. Ravens teach us to:

• Embrace Change
• Pay Attention to Signs
• Connect with our Spiritual Side
• Take time for Introspection

My art, a collage of AI and fractal energy art supports you in energetically opening yourself to magic.

See it on the walls, pillows, and dining chairs. 

My art, a collage of AI and fractal energy art supports you in living with integrity in this Edesign I created.

This collection is “Raven Medicine”. Remind yourself to be open to magic and the unknown. Raise the vibe in your space today. Great design starts with energy.

What is Energy Art and How Can it Change Your Life?

Immerse yourself in the captivating world of my digital art, where the fusion of AI and Fractal art unfolds in mesmerizing harmony and supportive energy. Guided by the power of language, and the ingenuity of algorithms, I communicate my artistic vision to the AI, refining and perfecting it until it resonates with my vision. Then, a captivating dance begins as I craft intricate energy infused fractal art which I add in layers to the design.

My computer screen becomes the playground where I interlace my AI-generated images with the bewitching patterns of fractals, creating a symphony of colors, textures, dimension and detail. But my art goes beyond the beauty. Embedded within each creation lies a unique energy message, carefully crafted to support you. My own energy infuses every stroke, enveloping the artwork with a positive force that resonates with you and what you need to support you in your space.

I love exploring the endless possibilities and pushing the boundaries of digital art to unveil the unseen, weaving threads of meaning and energy into the essence of the art.

My art transcends into the extraordinary, offering an immersive experience that helps you reach your potential to be who you truly are. With colors that bring you joy, textures that beckon to be touched, and intricate details that unravel like secrets, my art invites you to embark on a transformational journey.

Authenticity and Purpose

1. Do you feel you’re living your true purpose and passions? Are you embracing your true purpose, and pursuing your passion wholeheartedly? (Alignment). Does your work ignite a deep joy and sense of necessity within you? (Heartfire). If not, take quiet moments to dive deep into self-discovery and step out of your comfort zone (Journey).

2.  Do your decisions consistently align with your purpose and the person you’re becoming?  Consider who you’re evolving into (Path with Heart, and Becoming).

3.  Are you comfortable expressing your authentic thoughts and feelings? Are you being genuine and voicing your own beliefs? (Throat Chakra).

Positive Intentions and Actions

4.  Do you offer your services with a genuine desire to make a positive impact? Do you offer them wholeheartedly, with the intention of improving others’ lives? (Heart Chakra).

5.  Have you discarded unhelpful beliefs about money and replaced them with positive ones? Have you let go of your past beliefs about money that may not serve you well (Stories from the Past, and rewritten narratives in your mind that support your success? (Stories of the Future). Do you realize your stories are not necessarily your customers stories?

6. Do you demonstrate self-integrity and discipline? Are you cultivating traits that attract wealth, like discipline and integrity? Remember, you must embody the life you want. Your actions reflect who you are and have a ripple effect in your life (Being).

Embrace Change and Inspiration

7. Do you regularly take quiet moments to listen to your heart and generate ideas? Do you connect with your heart, letting ideas flow naturally instead of forcing them? (Journey and Silence is Golden). 

8. Do you act quickly when inspiration strikes? When a brilliant idea strikes, do you recognize it as a universal gift and act on it before it’s passed on to someone else? (Inspiration).

9. Do you turn changes into business opportunities? Are you adaptable, seeking opportunities amidst change to benefit your business? Remember, your response to change determines its impact. Change can be transformative if you let it (Radical Change).

10. Do you feel you manage your time effectively? Do you use it to your advantage instead of letting it control you? (Unveiling Time).

Energy and Abundance Mindset

11. Do you regularly express gratitude for what you have? Do you appreciate what you have now? A thankful mindset draws abundance and well-being into your life. When did you last express gratitude for the simplest life-sustaining elements like water, air, or your own body? (Gratitude, and Abundance).

12. Do you believe you emit positive energy?  Remember, you attract the same energy you exude (Frequency, and Qi ).

13. Are you confident in the flow of money in your life? Are you open-hearted, contributing to others, and ensuring money circulates freely? Understanding that money is an energy exchange with the universe encourages abundance (Abundance).

14. Do you communicate your intentions clearly? Have you clarified what you truly desire, and communicated your intentions to others and the universe? Clear intentions have immense power. By letting your unique essence shine, you can make the world a better place (Manifest, Fire Element, Possibilities).

Welcome to Saturday Night Live Art Shows. I am really happy to share my Aligned Energy Art series called “Eternity”, with four fractal art /sacred geometry pieces in an Edesign I created to highlight them.

This is a special collaboration with my followers. I am doing a creative challenge to create a new piece of art every day for 100 days. I created the first piece and did not know what to name it. I asked my followers how it made them feel. Their comments were amazing! I created a story that included every comment, and this video is the result. Based on the comments, I call this series “Eternity”. Watch the video to find out why”.

Fractal art is sacred geometry, expressing the energy that you can feel but can not see. Add Energy art to your space to remind yourself what is important.

Thanks to Saturday Night Live Art Shows creator, artist Brooke Harker and her co-hosts Joan Marie of Joan Marie Art, Sheryl Benjy, and Nichole McDaniel for making this possible.

Be sure to check out all the other artists from around the world,   having art shows in their Facebook and social media feeds at 6-9 pm in their time zones. Follow Saturday Night Live Art Shows on Facebook by searching #snlartshows.

The Story of “Eternity”

Once Upon a Time there was a girl (me).

She challenged herself to create new art every day for 100 days.

One day around week 4, she created something and didn’t know what to name it.

So she asked her followers…..how does it make you feel?

She was amazed at all their answers. A story started to unfold.

“He found the fossils in a secluded area. He had an overwhelming sense that ancient wisdom was written in the stone and within it was the heart of some long-lost ancient treasure. As his mind wandered, the story started to unfold, as if in a download from the universe. There was once a place, an interwoven world, filled with heroic beings with many superpowers. Each was earned as they moved through never ending layers within the spacious and regal palace of woven metal. But it was easy to get lost and feel trapped. Many areas were filled with ice and other crystals growing and expanding toward the light. The only way out was to pass a test of enlightenment, to move on to the next layer. While trapped, it was like being in a cave filled with ice crystals, but when enlightenment was found, they could be transported to a new area, sometimes filled with the golden sun of summer, or sometimes even to another country or time. Each place had its own special wisdom to be imparted.

There was a special dance that provided a secret key out, if only they knew what the moves were. And there was a sacred object they would have to carry in their hand…

They soon learned that the secret key out, was learning how to use the message of enlightenment in their own life, as everyone is different. Each had their own special move and sacred object needed to move on.

With each new lesson learned, they moved closer to knowing themselves better and becoming who they truly were. If the lesson was not be learned, they might spend eternity in the same area.

That’s a very long time! Are you learning your lessons?

How can you use “Eternity in your space?

If the message of “Eternity”, resonates with you, then adding art  like this that is meaningful as well as beautiful is a great way to create your perfect space and remind yourself of what is important in your life each day when you see it.

Because this art is digital, it can also be put on a variety of home decor products such as pillows, bedding, serving trays, coffee mugs, notebooks, and more. Think about your own transformation  as you sip your morning coffee or write in your journal, or while doing yoga.

 Aligned Energy Art  is another layer of meaning beyond the visual beauty in creating your perfect space that is  aligned with who you want to be.

Your selection of art determines the energy you want to surround yourself with.

How do you want to feel?

What is Fractal Art?

Fractal art is digital art I create on my computer. I love creating fractal art because it allows me to work with brilliant colors, interesting textures, and incredible detail. Learn more about how it is created in my last Saturday Night Live Art Show, ” A Passion for Purple” where I show some video of the process. See examples at my store on Society 6.

Welcome to Saturday Night Live Art Shows. I’m Mary Ann Benoit, an energy artist and Interior Designer from Seward, Alaska.

How do you feel about time? Is there never enough? Does it fly by or stand still?

We think of time as linear. What if it’s not, and all things are happening at the same time, but you just see one aspect of it?

Ever feel like you have been somewhere before, or have a memory from a distant time or place you have never been?

Is it a past memory behind the veil of time? Or a concurrent event?

My Interior Design, and energy art on the walls, pillows, and furniture remind you to keep an open mind about time and to change your perception to suit you.

Raise the vibe in your space today. Great design starts with energy.

My art is a mixture of fractal art and AI, with numerous fractal art hearts, symbolizing living a path with heart.

“Unveiling Time” Aligned Energy Art

If you have watched some of my previous shows, you know everything is energy. Including time. Here are some of my energy art pieces highlighted in the show.

 Aligned Energy Art  is another layer of meaning beyond the visual beauty in creating your perfect space that is  aligned with who you want to be.”

Contact me to work together and create a design that is perfect for your space. Here are a few of the pieces I used in this design.

What is AI and Fractal Art?

I created this digital art using a combination of AI (artificial intelligence) and Fractal on my computer. AI required using the right words to tell the computer what your artistic vision is, and then revising it over and over until it is close to my vision. Then I create fractal art using special software based on math. I overlay the fractal art images on the AI images. Each image has a special energy message meant to support you in your life. I infuse my energy to support you through the art during the creation process.

I love creating these mediums because it allows me to work with brilliant colors, interesting textures, and incredible detail.

A huge heart exploding with creativity, joy, and love. A spirit filled with fun, colorful abandon, and spiritual wisdom. In my art, I portrayed a butterfly, which is a symbol of joy. And hearts, for Joan Marie is living a path with heart, and doing what she loves. Joan Marie loves brilliant colors and is adventurous, energetic, and fun. With a triple-exploding heart that touches the world. A heart so big, it can not be contained. It affects everything around it. Healing itself and others in the process.

Welcome to Saturday Night Live Art Shows. I’m Mary Ann Benoit, an energy artist and Interior Designer from Seward, Alaska. In this show, I share four fractal art designs in my “Solar Plexus Chakra” series and show you how you can increase your personal power and sense of well-being with energy art and the design of your space.

Would you like to enhance your self-confidence and feel more powerful?

Do you worry about what people think of you, and seek constant approval?

Do you often doubt or mistrust people? Do you have digestive issues?

The energy of your solar plexus chakra may be blocked.

Everything is energy. This chakra is also called the Manipura chakra, which means a beautiful gem. My fractal art shows gem-like qualities and contains the energy and color of the solar plexus chakra.

Yellow inspires happiness, optimism, energy, creativity, and sharp thinking. I infuse my energy into my art and designs, to help give you what you need. Mixing that with your intention to heal yourself, makes for a powerful combination of energy in your home.

Use this art to create new beginnings, stand in your power, boost your self-confidence, and proudly shine your light. See how to use this art in these Edesigns I created for this show.

Everything is energy. My fractal art is sacred geometry. It represents the building blocks of life and what energy might look like if you could see it. Why not raise the energy around you to a higher level with art, for your health and well-being? Surround yourself with art that reminds you what is important and enhances the energy of your space.

See my “Solar Plexus Chakra” Collection at https://maryann-benoit.pixels.com/collections/solar+plexus+chakra

Learn more about each piece of art and how it affects the energy of the room, All combined create a living room that is supportive and inspires you to live joyfully and stay in alignment with who you are meant to be.

And you can vary the look and feel of the room with the same art but different paint colors. Need help picking colors? Call for a color consultation.

Do you love bringing the outdoors in? I do too. A beautiful example is this Edesign I created for the Seasonal Living Design Challenge.

Participants were to design a space in a Modern to Modern Farmhouse higher-end residential home, containing at least 3 Seasonal Living products, and 2 seasons should be reflected in the use of each space. Spaces should emphasize the concept of “Wellness”.

Seasonal Living

Designing a space that enhances the use of outdoor space as well as indoor space and is usable for more than just one season of the year is wonderful for making the most of your space and your well-being.

Seasonal Living provides distinctive furniture and decorative accessories that invite people to connect with the outdoors and live in rhythm with the four seasons.

I believe my design is perfect for spring, summer, fall, and winter with its indoor and outdoor fire features and roof that covers the outdoor space.

Wellness

I believe the concept of wellness is critical in creating the perfect space for you. Wellness is about having a healthy environment that inspires peace and well-being. Bring wellness into your space in the following ways.

• Color– Use the energy of color to bring peace, calm, well-being, or inspiration to your space.
• Biophilia- Bring the outside in by creating a seamless interplay between the outside view and the interior. Use natural materials and elements in your space.
• Art- Select art that has a meaningful message that inspires you whenever you see it.
• Natural Materials- Use natural materials such as wood, metal, glass, wool, clay, stone, cotton, etc. for a healthy environment.
• Light, Fire, and Sound- Let your space and yourself breathe in an area with plenty of light, fresh air, quiet, and the comfort of a fire in the fireplace.
• Uncluttered space– Give yourself room to breathe, move freely and relax. Too much clutter feels chaotic and does not allow your eyes to rest.

Color

This design uses a primarily neutral color scheme interspersed with greens, blues, and yellows to harmonize with the outdoor landscape. The colors are peaceful, relaxing and give the feeling of relaxing in the forest. The walls are a very light green and the ceiling a light blue, to blend with the forest and sky increase the flow between outdoors and in.

Biophilia

As humans, we want to be connected with nature and other living things such as people, animals, and plants.  This longing for “connection” with other life forms is called “biophilia”. See my article on biophilia for more details.

Some of the ways of doing that, which I incorporated in this design include:

• Use natural and eco-friendly materials for building and decor. In this design, I used lots of glass, wood, wool, wicker, stone. Seasonal Living also uses natural and recycled material whenever possible.
• Use indoor plants to provide a variety of colors, textures and improve your indoor air quality.
• Use the colors of nature in your home, inside and out. The furnishings are primarily neutral colors, allowing the art, plants and accessories to add colors and textures to harmonize with the outdoor environment. The walls are green and ceiling blue to allow the eyes to rest and help the inside flow into the outside.
• Use lots of strategically placed windows for an abundance of natural light and views.
• Select art that enhances the energy you want to surround yourself with, inspires you and helps remind you who you want to be.

Art

Art can have a big impact on the energy of the space and how your feel in it.

• Consider art that shows landscapes, plants, animals, or other natural elements that bring you joy and work with your design and color palette.
• Consider art that tells the story of something important to your well-being. In this design, I used 2 of my recent fractal energy art series. The first, in shades of greens, is called “Release”. It not only portrays the release of the season of fall into winter but the release of all the things that no longer serve you or your well-being. Note the design in the wall art, pillows and tray on the coffee table.

“Release” Fractal Art

See my Saturday Night Live Art Show on my “Release” art to learn how it was made and more about the energy behind the design.  “Release” is all about releasing all the things in life that do not serve you or contribute to your well-being.

The greens and fall colors add a feeling of calmness and well-being as if sitting in a beautiful forest. This is the feeling I want to have as a result of releasing what no longer serves me. It works together perfectly with the exterior landscape and the Seasonal Living furniture.

I created 2 more pieces to go with it, so you can see the movement between pieces and use three together over a sofa t create a focal point in a room.

“Attachments” Fractal Art

See my Saturday Night Live Art Show on my “Attachments” fractal art to learn more about these pieces. Buddha said that attachment is the root of all suffering. This art reminds us to release the attachment to outcomes and trying to control things, and let them be how they are meant to be.

Light, Fire and Sound

Lots of sunlight, a warm, beautiful fire in the fireplace or outdoor fire pits, candlelight and the sounds of nature are the extra touches that make magic happen and increase your wellness in un-measurable ways!

https://northernlightsstaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/outdoor_fire_video-1.mp4

The Experience

I enjoyed developing a design using Seasonal Living products and exploring the flexible concept of indoor/outdoor living. I love that their products are sustainable and created or inspired by artisans. I liked being about to meld it with my own fractal art and loved the experience of creating a design that flowed seamlessly between inside and outside and could be used in all seasons of the year.

What is Fractal Art?

Fractal art is digital art I create on my computer. I love creating fractal art because it allows me to work with brilliant colors, interesting textures, and incredible detail.

There Will Only Ever Be One of You

There is only one of you in all the world. There will only ever be one. You are here to do what you alone are meant to do for the world in your unique way. Are you doing it?

One thing I have learned over the last year is that there is a reason I am here. That is to do what I am meant to do in my unique way, because no one else can do it like me.  

It is funny. I was doing a home staging job the other day and the client asked what made me special. It effortlessly came out of my mouth, “Because I am the only one in the universe that can do things uniquely as I do them. I am what makes me special”.

This was not meant to toot my own horn. It just is the way of the world for all of us.

It is just that some of us recognize and celebrate it, and others are still learning the lesson.

We owe it to the universe and those around us to be our authentic selves. Otherwise, we are depriving others of what we were meant to give them as we try to fit in and be someone else instead.

In many ways, this last year was the best year of my life.

Yes, really.

Why? Because it was a year of learning and transformation.

Instead of dwelling on all that was wrong in the world, I decided to learn and grow and make the most of the time I unexpectedly had.

Times were hard in many ways, but I also learned how to deal with those hard times in a different way.

As things are getting back to normal in some ways, I feel differently.

It is like I am in the eye of the storm where all is calm while everything around me seems chaotic as others are trying to get back to “normal” Maybe “normal” wasn’t so great. Is that the place you want to go?

I feel the way I do is because of a program I went through and continue to do, called TCP (Transformational Coaching Program). The program helps you transform from the inside out, and helps you to BE the person you want to be, so you can DO the things you need to HAVE the life you were meant to have.

It helps you get in alignment with what makes you unique and why it matters.

Are you intrigued? Is the little voice in the back of your mind saying “I don’t have time or money for that right now” because you are busy DOING all the things you think are important?

Believe me, I get it. I am the ultimate DOER. I felt the same way.

 I took the program anyway, and am so glad I did.

It is easy to go on for years without changing our lives for the better. For me it was always the struggle between the short-term pain versus the long-term gain. You can always convince yourself you will start tomorrow.

Imagine yourself thinner, healthier, happier, wealthier, and more peaceful. Living a life filled with abundance without worrying all the time about money or accomplishing all the things. If you were fully convinced it would work for you, you would do it, wouldn’t you?

There is only one of you in all the world. There will only ever be one. You are here to do what you alone are meant to do for the world in your unique way. Are you doing it?

Get Aligned With Who You Were Meant to BE

I joined TCP to increase my income for my Interior Design/Home Staging business.

Although my focus was business, the program instead provided incredible value to my health and well-being.

I changed my habits and lost weight and quit smoking. I started to make self care my priority. I stopped DOING my way through life and learned how to BE the person I want to be. I released a lot of stress and anger and learned how to do things differently. I noticed a huge difference in my feeling of peace and well being.

I then took a TCP business class which helped me become more aware and aligned with what makes me unique and how to make that the focus of my business. This shaped my philosophy of “Aligned Design”, which aligns art, science and energy to create your perfect space.  

Even though this business class was all about making more income for my business, the more I learned, the less important money became to me and the more important creating expansion in others lives and being of service became. Ultimately, that increased my business and income, and I was more aligned with what I was meant to be doing so was having more fun!

The programs are run by Jim Fortin and his amazing team of coaches. It includes a private Facebook group where there is onoing coaching and community, weekly content such as workbooks, videos and audios with homework, followed by weekly Facebook lives with Jim and the coaches on a wide variety of topics from health to business. We worked on things like clarity, vision, sub-conscious values, habits, self-integrity, responsibility, commitment, choices, relationships You could also ask for coaching on any topic in the FB group or do a “hot seat” on one of the live calls. The community of people in the group from all over the world is extremely positive and supportive.

If you are like most people selling your home in a seller’s market, where there are few houses for sale and lots of buyers, you would think spending money on home staging is a dumb idea.

After all, why spend money on staging when you can reasonably expect it will sell quickly. Why spend money on fixing things or remodeling? Why spend money on painting, or even cleaning?

I see it all the time. I live in a small town that has limited housing, so it is always a seller’s market. I am amazed sometimes at the listing photos I see online.

I get it. What you are really saying is why spend any money at all if you do not have to. You do have holding costs like mortgage and utilities after all and will have to pay your realtor and closing costs.

“That is an interesting belief that will cost you.”

Think about it. The supply of houses is limited. People are looking to buy. They want the best house they can get for the money. If there are five houses for sale, and they all look just OK, including yours, you will likely still sell quickly but at what price? About the same as everyone else with a similar OK house.

What if your house looks amazing compared to the other similar homes? Everyone is going to want it. What will happen? Can you say bidding war?

What do I mean when I say amazing? Your house is clean, repaired, beautifully staged and move in ready. You have professional photos showing it off online. Everyone will want it and they all know everyone else will want it too!

OK, I hear your gears grinding from here…. but how much will it cost me to do all that compared to how much more I will get on my home sale? I am glad you asked.

In my experience, if people spend .5 to 1% of the home’s value on getting their home ready for market, which includes the painting, repairs, cleaning, and staging, they often get 10-20% more on their home sale.

For example, I recently staged a home in a seller’s market. The realtor was concerned that the seller would be lucky to get 20K less than they wanted to list for in the house’s current condition.   The owner knew they needed to move their things out and get it cleaned. They were not considering doing much more. The realtor suggested home staging.

We started with a consultation in which I recommended painting over some colors I knew would not be appealing to buyers, installing some missing lights, removing most of the existing furniture and personal items , having it cleaned,  having the yard work done and for me to stage it. I believe the maintenance and painting probably cost them about $500.  The consultation, staging and accessory rentals cost about $1500. So, the owner spent about $2000 to prepare it for market.

So, what happened? After I staged the home, the seller received 2 over asking price offers within 24 hours and 15 offers in 7 days.  They sold the house for 30K over asking price! So not only did they make up for the 20K the realtor thought they could not get to meet their asking price, but they also made an additional 30K. That is 50K more than expected, because they spent 2K on preparing and staging.

Note this was a small house, so costs to prepare or stage and prepare larger houses can vary quite a bit based on the size and what they need. At the same time, larger houses have a much higher sales price and greater opportunity for the seller to make even more on the sale.

Spending money on home staging is kind of like going on a diet. You have to put up with a little short-term pain of spending some money up front to get the big pay-off in the end. Or instead, maybe I should say home staging is like going on a healthy diet….you know it is the right thing to do to get a return of perfect health, and with home staging to get the return of your best sales price. It is simply hard to get started!

Today I was asked “How have you changed since the pandemic began? Are you more self-aware? Have you shed your cocoon and blossomed into the person and business owner that you never knew existed within you?”

Interesting question. Why yes, I have. How about you?

We are all in the same storm but it in different boats.

From my perspective, this pandemic has separated people into two groups. Those that have figured out ways to thrive or at least remain positive, and those who have not.                   

I am in the first boat. I could have easily been in the second boat though if I had made a few different choices.

One big choice is the set of your sail.

We have all been affected in different ways. Some of us have been sick or lost loved ones. Some have lost our jobs, or businesses or wonder if we will in the future. Many of us have taken a big financial hit. Some have kids and struggle with what is happening with schools, how work with kids at home and making sure they are still getting an education, or how to keep them safe. The scenarios are endless.

There is not much we can control, except the most important thing.

OUR THOUGHTS

We can choose those and how we will respond to all that is happening around us. The thoughts affect how we feel. We can live in endless fear and worry, which changes nothing but how we feel.

 Or not.

One thing that has helped me through this is a the Transformational Coaching Program called TCP that I took in March. It is a three month program that had an amazing impact on my life, which I described in Four Courses that Changed my Life and Lose Weight, Quit Smoking, Get Healthy and Peaceful Without Pain.

In those articles I focused on some of the most obvious physical changes that others could see such as weight loss and quitting smoking. But the biggest transformation was the way it affected my thinking, and how I  deal with adversity. I learned to control my thoughts, and thus my emotions and habits and other ways of BEING. It gave me an amazing sense of peace and well being in the middle of this storm.

I tell you about it because the program opens twice a year, and it opens up September 14.

Here is a testimonial I created when I took the program.

My testimonial of the TCP program.  The internal changes in the way I think are more important than the outward, visible changes that resulted.

TCP was so great, I went on to take the TCP business program and will be doing TCP again.   I hear from many people that retake the program, each time is a new experience for growth, because you are a different person each time.

The TCP program is open now for 3 days only!.
